5.6 On-site Functional Test, Calibration and Training
All Starrett vision metrology systems and optical comparators are calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; however, it is possible that components might have moved during shipment. A complete functional test and calibration are recommended following physical installation. Professional system installation is normally provided by Starrett Factory Service Technicians or Starrett Authorized Service Technicians for all new vision metrology systems and optical comparators sold in North America. Installation can include equipment setup, on-site calibration and on-site operator training. While professional installation, calibration and training are separately quoted line items, these services are highly recommended and are purchased by most users. As part of its setup services, Starrett can oversee the equipment’s in -plant transportation to its permanent location and uncrating. Starrett can then perform the physical setup and electrical connection, followed by a completed functional checkout. This typically takes half day for a HDV system. The system should then be allowed to temperature stabilize overnight prior to calibration. On-site calibration normally takes place on the day following setup. Starrett offers ISO 17025 accredited calibrations. Calibration uses NIST-traceable glass grids, linear standards, and gage blocks. Calibration typically takes half day for a system like the HDV. If a motorized rotary stage is purchased with the system, then additional installation, set-up and calibration is required which can add another two hours of technician time plus the appropriate calibration equipment. On-site basic operator training can be provided following calibration. This typically takes half day for a system like the HD300 and HDV400. Many customers choose to augment basic training with one or two days of specialized hands-on training, where new operators program actual parts of the type on which they will be working. Training is with the new equipment and
